Initial Setup Procedure

Before cooking for the first time, we recommend that you remove the cooking grate and wash it with mild soap and water. Re-install the grate, light grill and set to HIGH, and let the grill run with the lid down for 1 hour. This will provide a final cure and remove any residue that may have accumulated dur­ing manufacturing and shipping. After this initial burn, your grill is ready for cooking.
For your first lighting, follow this Initial Setup Procedure.
Before starting your REC TEC BULLSEYE, inspect the burn area inside the grilling area. It is a rec­ommended practice to go through the following procedure at initial start up.
1. Open the main lid and remove the cooking grate and flame deflector plate. Make sure all packing material has been removed.
2. Open the pellet hopper lid found on the left side of your grill and check for any foreign ob­jects.
3. Plug your REC TEC BULLSEYE into the nearest 110 Volt AC GFCI outlet. (Note: If your home does not have a GFCI outlet, you should have one installed by an electrician.)
4. Turn on Power switch and ensure that the blower fan is running. (when powered on, blower fan will run constantly)
5. Turn on ignitor switch, after 3 - 4 minutes verify ignitor is glowing red in firepot. DO NOT TOUCH IGNITOR ROD OR FIREPOT WHILE GRILL IS PLUGGED IN.
6. Turn ignitor switch OFF.
7. Turn temp dial clockwise, you should feel click, and auger will move slowly. (the further you turn the dial, the more frequent the auger will turn and under normal grilling conditions, the higher the temp will rise.
8. With lid open, pour pellets into your grill’s pellet hopper. Turn temp dial fully clockwise.
9. Once visually verifying that a small amount of pellets are feeding into firepot, turn temp dial fully counter clockwise to OFF position.
10. Turn power OFF.
11. Reinstall the flame deflector plate and cooking grate.
12. Turn power ON. Turn ignitor ON. Turn temp dial fully clockwise.
13. Within a few minutes you will see white smoke, and your grill will light.
14. Once visually verifying that fire is going in fire pot, it is safe to turn off ignitor.
15. Close the lid.
16. Once grill has achieved 150º F+, allow to burn for 1 hour. This should cure coating and burn off any oils that have accumulated during the manufacturing process.
17. After 1 hour, your grill is cured and ready to begin cooking (by adjusting temp dial to achieve desired cooking temp) or power OFF.
18. To power OFF, turn dial fully counter-clockwise and leave power switch on for 5-7 minutes. This will allow the blower fan to extinguish the flame in the firepot.!

Operating your REC TEC BULLSEYE

Starting Grill
Refer to initial setup procedure steps 12-15 on page 7 to start up grill. Keep in mind to adjust temp dial as needed.
Operating Temperatures!
“SMOKING” "" 180ºF to 275ºF! “ROASTING / BRAISING” 275ºF to 325ºF! “BAKING” " " 325ºF to 375ºF! “GRILLING”" " 375ºF to 450ºF" “SEARING”" " 450ºF +!
Shutting O Grill!
1. When you are done cooking, turn the temperature dial to off position; the auger will no longer feed pellets into the fire pot. Allow fan to run for at least 5-7 minutes, this will extinguish any remaining flame in fire pot.
2. Once flame is extinguished, turn main power button off. Allow grill to cool before moving, cov­ering, and storing.

Preheating(
It is important to allow your grill to preheat and achieve your desired cooking temperature before cooking. This allows the entire grill to heat up and quickly return to your desired temperature once your food is introduced. If you do not allow the grill to preheat, you will find that it takes a longer period of time to bring both the grill and the food to your desired cooking temperature.(
Pellet Information(
REC TEC GRILLS Ultimate Blend Pellets premium hardwood pellets contain approximately 8,200 BTU’s of heat per pound and have less than 1% ash residue. Pellets should be stored in a dry area,
as wet pellets will swell and turn back into sawdust. For best results, always use premium hard- wood pellets in your grill. The use of grades other than premium hardwood pellets may result in temperature variations, uneven cooking, and poor results. Remember pellets do not contain preserv-
atives and will deteriorate over time.
Caution: Some wood pellets produced for heating fuel have a high content of softwood which can include pitch, and should not be used for cooking. Always check with the pellet manufacturer to ensure that you are cooking with a premium 100% hardwood pellet.
Tips and Tricks
Clean your grill regularly to maintain beauty and proper function. It is advised to clean before any long cook. (See page 13 for cleaning instruction)
Always use grill on a level surface.
Check and clean fire pot regularly; this will ensure proper ignition and heat output.
Not all pellets are created equal, always use dry and fresh pellets.
Always store pellets in a dry area.
Get to know your grill, keep good cooking notes. This will help with consistency.
Practice makes perfect.
Always allow your meat to rest before serving.
Always keep your cooking area clean.
Avoid lifting the lid more than necessary.
Wind can cool your grill temperature.
Always preheat grill to desired temperature before use.

Wipe off stainless steel surfaces before preheating; dirt and food stains can cook into surface.
Always check pellet hopper for debris and remove excess pellet dust as needed. (A shop-vac is the pre­ferred method)
Leave at least one inch of clearance between food for even cooks. (Crowded foods will take longer to cook)
Foods cooked on pans or in containers will require more time than foods cooked directly on grate.
Use the REC TEC GRILLS Bullpen Instant Read Thermometer to determine meat-doneness, never rely on time.
Know your food’s internal temp!
Use long handled tongs and spatulas for turning meats, do not use plastic utensils.
Injecting, mopping, and spritzing are great ways to keep meat from drying out.
When going low and slow, plan for your meats stall, larger pieces of meat tend to take longer from 160-180 degrees. Be patient.
Never unplug your grill to turn it off; for proper shutdown procedure see page 8.
If grill is not used for six weeks or more, it is advised to remove all pellets from hopper.
When not in use, unplug and cover with REC TEC GRILLS Premium Grill Cover.
Temps!
Remember, you can’t tell whether meat is safely cooked by looking at it. Any cooked, uncured red meats -
including pork - can be pink, even when the meat has reached a safe internal temperature.
After you remove the meat from your grill, allow it to rest for a specified amount of time. During the rest
time, its temperature remains constant or continues to rise, which destroys harmful bacteria.
• Hot foods should be held at 140º F or warmer.
• Cold foods should be held at 40º F or colder.
• Perishable food should not be left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature - 1 hour when the
temperature is above 90º F.
• Always follow food safety guidelines provided by the USDA.

A few simple steps will ensure that your REC TEC BULLSEYE will give you many years of service with minimal effort.
• Use a grill brush to clean your cooking grate after every cook to provide years of trouble free use from them. NOTE: Make sure that no bristles have shed and remain on cooking grate.
• Clean the ash from the interior of your grill every 2-3 bags of pellets. (A shop vac is the ideal tool for this job.) (WARNING–always wait at least 12 hours after cooking to remove ash from
your grill.)
• Use a mild soap and water to clean the exterior of your grill. AVOID USING CAUSTIC CLEANERS.
• If left in exposed area, keep your grill covered and unplugged when not in use.
• Never let your pellets get wet; they will swell and jam your auger.
• If grill will not be in use for 6 weeks or more, cleaning out pellets from your hopper is recom­mended.
• For a superior cleaning and shine, clean your grill’s outside surfaces (when completely cooled) and then use automotive wax, per the directions.

Auger failure
Remove cooking grate and flame deflector plate; visually inspect auger turning in the fire pot. (Note: the auger turns very slowly) Turn temperature knob to MAX position. If auger is not turning, you may have an obstruction in your hopper. Clean out pellets and try again. If problem persists, your auger motor may need to be replaced. Call Customer Service.
Temperature dial in off position
Turn temperature dial clockwise past off position. (You will hear a click once temperature knob is engaged)
